“Süngra” is a culmination of an 18-day residential workshop and the inspiration behind the play emanates from the artwork of Temjen, an artist whose creations were showcased during the Hornbill Festival. Drawing from Ao Naga folklore, the play delves into the ancestral belief that the Ao Naga people emerged from ‘Lungterok,’ translated as six stones.

“Süngra” will be a metaphoric and nonverbal, symbolic theatrical play that promises to captivate the audience, directed by Kilangtemsu Imsong.
